Abstract: The aim of this study was to document similarities and differences between veins from human diabetic patients and an experimentally induced diabetic animal model. The sapheneous vein and posterior tibial vein from diabetic patients and the femoral vein from rats were studied. An increase in the extracellular matrix with migration of smooth muscle cells and endothelial alterations were observed in the intima of all specimens. These findings demonstrate that there is a high degree of similarity between the pathological changes in the venous wall during human diabetes mellitus and streptozotocin (STZ) induced-diabetes. This finding validates STZ induced-diabetes in rats as a model for further experimental study to clarify the fate of the diabetic venous wall when used as a graft.
